UFC on FOX 6: Ricardo Lamas vs. Erik Koch full fight video highlights

Ricardo Lamas spoiled the return of Erik Koch on Saturday, then made some travel plans after the fight.

Lamas (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) upset Koch (13-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) to open up the main card of UFC on FOX 6 at United Center in Chicago, punishing Koch with a devastating series of punches and elbows to get a second-round TKO.

Lamas now has won four straight, all at featherweight and all in the UFC. At UFC 156 this coming Saturday in Las Vegas, champion Jose Aldo defends his title against Frankie Edgar. After his Saturday win, Lamas said he’ll be in Las Vegas to watch the championship fight – anticipating that he very well could be next in line for the winner.

Koch had been booked for a title fight with Aldo this past year, but had to pull out with an injury. Now he falls back into the featherweight contenders pack, while Lamas moves up – perhaps as the next challenger.

Full highlights now are available for the fight, which aired live on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
